Nova Revista Amazônica, Bragança, v. 7, n. 2, p. 117-130, set. 2019. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.18542/nra.v7i2.7509. Disponível em: http://repositorio.ufpa.br/jspui/handle/2011/12557. Acesso em:.2318-1346https://repositorio.ufpa.br/handle/2011/12557The article analyzes the representation of Black people in the context of the celebrations of the abolicionism in Belém. The text discusses the parties of abolitionism as a discourse of charity around the conception of freedom in the decade of abolition and the representation of the Negro as "good captive", a worker idealized by the slaver society. The feasts were celebrated as a ritual of "baptism of freedom" and an ideal moment of relating freedom as a festive action of benevolent character, moment of harmony and fraternization.Acesso Abertohttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/br/CaridadeLiberdadeFestasNegroFreedomPartiesBlack peopleArtigo de Periódico10.18542/nra.v7i2.7509
